Lincoln special needs school seeks extension to help 130 more pupils
Better provision for special needs education
How the new school building could look.
A new school building will rise from the ashes of an old one as part of a major special education needs expansion for Lincoln St Christopher’s School.
Lincolnshire County Council has applied to its planning department to build a dedicated new 130-place primary school on the site of the former Priory Witham Academy Junior School, which was demolished in 2012.
Lincoln St Christophers’ original building will also be extensively redeveloped and remodelled to provide specialist secondary age education.

Few people attended the second Kill the Bill protest in Lincoln on Saturday, as Extinction Rebellion activists stood alone on the High Street to campaign against a proposed policing bill that could make many protests illegal.
Hundreds gathered at the first Kill the Bill protest in Lincoln on April 3, but the same couldn’t be said for the second demonstration.
Activists from Extinction Rebellion Lincolnshire gathered at Speakers’ Corner to oppose plans for the latest Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which could curtail protesting rights if passed through parliament.
